Our
journey towards sustainable fish feed continues!
|
The SynoProtein project has successfully concluded its first periodic
reporting and project review, covering the first 18 months (M1-M18). During
this reporting period, the consortium achieved significant progress in
developing and optimizing lab scale processes, reaching performance levels
aligned with the project’s initial targets. In parallel, preliminary
engineering designs, techno-economic assessments, life-cycle analyses, product
testing, and market evaluations were carried out. These foundational activities
have provided critical insights to guide the upcoming scale-up phase. As the
project moves into its next stage, the team will focus on preparing for the
development and deployment of the pilot system. // Long Lin, Project Manager

Topic:
Broadening
the base: Criteria and insights for selecting aquafeed protein ingredients
| | | Join us for the second
SynoProtein webinar organised by DECHEMA e.V.
In this
session, we take a closer look at the diversity of protein sources used in
aquafeeds — both conventional and emerging. The webinar offers insights into
how sustainability, regulatory frameworks, market availability, and nutritional
value play a role in selecting the right ingredients for modern aquaculture.
Are you
interested in feed innovation, sustainable aquaculture, or the use of protein
sources? Then join our second SynoProtein webinar and learn from leading
researchers and industry experts. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain practical and scientific insights, and explore how SynoProtein contributes to a more
resilient and sustainable bio-economy.
